Nothing from the Friendly Farmer's last merged round.

Grants are permissions: what each level may read (R), write (W) and run (X) on Bass & Biscuits. They are listed in drum-dog-rwx-panel, below, with whether each one is in code.

No agent keys yet: Iron Gates will issue them and API Fairy will show them (planned).

    Should be: what each level may read (R), write (W) and run (X) on Bass & Biscuits. Then whether that is in code:

    ✓ In code A test, setting or script makes it true, and the grant names that proof (its evidence).⚠︎ Rule only A rule agents agree to follow (AGENTS.md or a skill). Nothing stops someone who breaks it.○ Not built Designed, not built yet.

    Who may use Bass & Biscuits

    L1Should beRWXa program or tool · its own folder⚠︎ Rule only
    RWXItself: its own repo folder and its declared data folder⚠︎ Rule only

    Written only: farm-security, section 2. Hub scripts refuse a path outside the pet's folder (scripts/animal-guard-20261013.mjs), but a pet's own program runs as you, so it could reach further.

    Next (planned): The Police Station watches every write and every key use.

    L1Should beRWXa program or tool · everything else⚠︎ Rule only
    RWXKernel Koala (Kernel Grove: process-sweep, service-host-explainer, leftover-watch)⚠︎ Rule only

    Written only: Kernel Grove reads through WMI, the IP Helper API and the registry, and writes only its own data folder (its farm event log, saved reports without command lines, its menu and mood files). Nothing enforces this: it runs as you. Asked for on 2026-10-21; Astra approves it by merging.

    Next (planned): Iron Gates issues the grant; The Police Station watches that Kernel Grove writes only its own folder.

    RWXInference Iguana (Benchmark Rock: gpu-watch, busy-watch)⚠︎ Rule only

    Written only: Benchmark Rock reads Windows' GPU performance counters and DXGI, and writes only its own data folder (its farm event log, saved reports with names and numbers only, its menu and mood files); it never stops or changes a program, a driver or a card setting. Nothing enforces this: it runs as you. Asked for on 2026-10-23; Astra approves it by merging.

    Written only: evidence-locker-20261018.cs reads and copies into its own cases folder only; it never changes or deletes what it investigates. Nothing enforces this: it runs as you. Asked for on 2026-10-18; Astra approves it by merging.

    Written only: Only animals, and only on a claude/ or codex/ branch, never straight on main (AGENTS.md). Hub scripts check the animal part with scripts/animal-guard-20261013.mjs, on the pet’s own GitHub account (github_owner in pets.json); nothing checks the branch part.

    What Bass & Biscuits may use

    L1+L2+L3RWXIts own repo folder and its declared data folder⚠︎ Rule only

    Written only: farm-security, section 2. Hub scripts refuse a path outside the pet's folder (scripts/animal-guard-20261013.mjs), but a pet's own program runs as you, so it could reach further.

    Next (planned): The Police Station watches every write and every key use.

    L1+L2RWXShared tools, other people's programs and devices⚠︎ Rule only

    Written only: One copy of a shared tool, one owner; other pets get a grant: folders, R W X and limits (TOOLS-AND-TRICKS.md). Until Iron Gates is built, a pet asks Astra and the grant is written in both pets' connection boxes.

    Next (planned): Iron Gates issues grants and Astra approves them.

    L3RWXFarmhands (ring 4)⚠︎ Rule only

    Written only: X on a farmhand means sending it a request and reading the answer. Nobody rewrites a model, and only Astra changes her local farmhands. Only farmhands on the allowlist get keys; today they are Astra's own API keys.

    Next (planned): Short-lived keys from Iron Gates, shown in API Fairy's mushroom circle; local farmhands bound to this PC with a key.

    More details

    Each level has two rows: what it may do inside the pet program’s own folder, and everywhere else. A row shows the most that level is allowed there by any rule; open a row to see every rule behind it and its proof. The row’s mark is the least sure of those rules: one “Rule only” makes the whole row “Rule only”. These are the same rules as the System Map card and PROTECTION-RINGS.md, and the build refuses an “In code” mark that names no proof.
